Don't have flat monitor. My 19" is .28dpi. [$180.]

Sounds like quite a trade-off there.

What is view like at .20dpi??

The flat screen CRTs actually multi-DPI. The DPI is slightly greater in the corners.

I am testing out a KDS VS-190 19"

Not too bad for $250 CDN

For $500, get something that's Trinitron or Diamondtron. Diamondtron and Trinitron are essentially the same thing, just Trinitron uses one thicker horizontal line and Diamondtron uses two thinner horizontal lines. A good Diamontron is a 19" from Sceptre, out real soon and will cost between $350-400 but you will be able to get fifty dollars off if you buy online. You can get a NEC-Mitsubishi for more $$$ but won't last you as long and will have the same quality. Futura started making monitors w/ Diamontron and only cost like $300 for a 19" and last you three years but are pretty large. CTX and Iiayama have some good monitors too.

Trinitrons is not good for reading web pages and email ...

I have SONY SFII 15" ...
My eyes get tired very fast ,i got it 5 years now .

SAMSUNG 900IFT is the future , just read what technology they have use on this CRT and you will all see about what i am talking ..

Have a 19" Viewsonic myself. Was bought when these things were a tad expensive. If memory serves me in the 4 digits 4 years ago. On 24/7/365 and still going strong. Would definatly buy another Viewsonic at the drop of a hat.

Because you've had it for 5 years, picture quality would of degraded a lot, obviously. 5 years ago they didn't have FD Trinitron, the original Trinitron tubes weren't 100% flat, the new FD Trinitrons ARE, like an LCD.

BTW, Samsung's "Dyna Flat" and such displays are just backward engineered versions of the Sony FD Trinitron CRT, just like Mitsubishi's "Diamondtron" series of CRT's

Hey Canadian you have right ,until one point .

The SONY SFII ,prove so far that is a hard to die part .
Other cheapo monitors at the age of 5 years ,they rest in peace .
As monitors repair tech i am happy to say that the performance drop of this SONY ,in sharper image (thats the biger problem in all monitors ) is only 20 % .

About the SAMSUNG 900IFT , its not a Trinitron tube.
And my profesional opinion after reading users and techs opinions ,is that this spesial model is , HARD to die one (No all models of monitors is good to that ) and also have the most less visual problems than any other monitor in this dimension of 19" today ,in focus - geometry - colors- white balance and any other spec that you can think ..

I forgot to tell you that i am perfection maniac

Take care

Umm I didn't say they use Trinitron tubes, i said they use BACKWARD ENGINEEERED Trinitron tubes.

As for the rest of what you said, i have no clue what you mean.

They did... maybe they've perfected it some, but ALL Aperture Grill tubes (KDS' Avitron, Mitsubishi's Diamondtron, Samsung's DynaFlat... etc)were ALL reverse engineered fom Sony's Tech.
